I know … I’m late this week. I had the post already basically done and was just waiting to weigh myself in the morning. so, I got on the scale and figured I’d gained (too many cookies!!). Nope I’m done a pound to 201! yeah!!

It’s been tough to eat right the last week. We have been eating out quite a bit (BAD BAD BAD) because we have been so busy. I really didn’t eat that bad when we did eat out - usually a grilled chicken sandwich .. it’s those french fries that’ll pack on the pounds. I didn’t get the exercise in that I wanted to. I had a final today and I have a final presentation in my other class on Thursday so I’ve been really busy with those. Add on top of that: 3 kids, preparing for Christmas and still in the process of getting a modular put on our land; and you have a whole lot of busy going on.

I will be working on cookie prep this week. I usually make TONS of cookies to give away, because we usually spend very little on most people in our families (exception being parents and kids). It’s nice that I can give them a big plateful of cookies and candy. I plan on mixing up the doughs and then freezing them in bulk. Then early next week I can just take them out to thaw and bake them up. I will also be making up some chocolate and peanut butter fudge and sticking that in the freezer. Now, the key will be not to sample too much of the goodies while I am baking them!!!  LOL. I’m such a chocoholic!

On the exercise front, I don’t see myself getting in too much exercise. I will try though. I will concentrate on cutting portions. I guess, as long as I don’t gain weight this holiday season I will be good.
